Slit open the chilli, remove the
seeds and stalk then roughly

SPICY DISHES
FRESH GREEN CURRY PASTE
Roughly chop the ginger (no
need to peel) and add into the
bowl along with the garlic and
half the oil
Snip in the coriander stalks but
reserve the leaf sprigs.
Pulse with the Dualit hand
blender to a chunky purée then
add the remaining oil, coconut
cream, if using, ground spices,
lemon juice and some salt and
pepper
Whiz until smooth then add the
coriander sprigs and pulse for a
few seconds to incorporate
Scoop the mixture into a lidded
jar and keep in the fridge until
required
The paste makes enough for 3-4
chicken breasts or salmon steaks, or
400g (14oz) of peeled prawns
To make the curry, stir fry the
chicken breasts (chopped), the
salmon (cubed), or the prawns in
a little hot oil for 2-3 minutes (the
chicken will take longer than the
fish – about 6-8 minutes,
depending on the size of the
pieces) then mix in the curry
paste
Stir well, cook for 2-3 more
minutes and add a small cup of
water to thin a little
Simmer for a couple more
minutes and serve straight away
with steaming basmati rice
